Sleep quality and glucose control in adults with type 1 diabetes during the seasonal daylight saving time shifts

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Retrospective observational study

Authors' conclusion

At similar level of sleep quality, adults with T1D underwent the worsening of most of CGM-derived glucose control metrics during the transition time.

Study context

Population
Adults with T1D treated with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems who completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire
Participants
62 adults
Exposure
Glucose metrics and sleep quality before vs after seasonal daylight saving time transitions
Outcome
Change in GMI, TIR, TAR and TBR
Follow-up
Across autumn and spring clock transitions

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

CGM-derived glucose metrics
  • Glucose monitoring indicator (GMI) increased during both time transitions
  • Time in range (TIR) decreased from Time 0 to Time 1 and from Time 2 to Time 3
  • Level 2 time above range (TAR) increased during the observation

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

No changes in sleep quality at time transitions
